Graduate Student Orientation
Carolina Club, George Watts Hill Alumni Center
Thursday, August 15, 2013
Graduate School Orientation is a half-day event for new incoming graduate students. The program is set to provide new students with valuable information that assists with the transition to graduate school and the surrounding community. Sessions during orientation will include an overview of resources and opportunities on campus and in Chapel Hill.
We are again including a Student Services Fair during the orientation program, where you will be able to meet people and learn about various campus and community organizations.
Immediately following the fair, we will end with a reception at the Carolina Club hosted by The Graduate School and the Graduate and Professional Student Federation.
The online event registration deadline is Sunday, August 11, 2013 at 12 midnight. Please contact Lou Anne Phelps, laphelps@email.unc.edu or (919) 962-8145, with questions.
